Subject field(s)
  • International Relations
CONT

Associations of states. Independent states may enter into forms of co-operation by consent and on an equal basis. The basis for the co-operation may be the constitution of an international organization, such as the United Nations or the World Health Organization. However, by treaty or custom other structures for maintaining co-operation may be created. One such structure, the confederation, has in practice either disintegrated or been transformed into a federation. In recent times the British Commonwealth of Nations and the French Community have provided examples of associations of states of a special type. Membership of these two associations would not necessarily affect the primary legal capacities and personality of member states any more than membership of an organization and has less effect than membership of some organizations, for example, the European Economic Community, which has a slight federal element, albeit on a treaty basis.

DEF

A simple universal joint; consists of two yokes attached to their respective shafts and connected by means of a spider.

CONT

A universal joint is a positive, mechanical connection between rotating shafts, which are usually not parallel, but intersecting. They are used to transmit motion, power, or both. The simplest and most common type is called the Cardan joint or Hooke joint... It consists of two yokes, one on each shaft, connected by a cross-shaped intermediate member called the spider. The angle between the two shafts is called the operating angle. It is generally, but not necessarily, constant during operation. Good design practice calls for low operating angles, often less than 25°, depending on the application. Independent of this guideline, mechanical interference in the construction of Cardan joints limits the operating angle to a maximum(often about 37½°, depending on its proportions.

CONT

In the theory of mechanics the cardan joint or Hooke’s joint is defined as a spatial or spherical drive unit with a non-uniform gear ratio or transmission.

OBS

The simplest kind of universal joint [is] called a "Hooke joint," ...

The assets of independent foundations are most commonly derived from the gift of an individual or family. Some function under the voluntary direction of family members, while others may bear a family name but have independent boards of trustees and professional staff. Typically, independent foundations have broad charters which allow a range of giving activities, but in practice most limit their giving to a few specific fields of interest and to a specific geographic area.
